#include "akerror.h"
Make the error pool and status registry thread safe Every entry point may now be called from any thread. akerr_init() runs exactly once however many threads race into it, the pool hands each slot to exactly one thread, and reservations, registrations and lookups are serialized against each other. One recursive lock covers both tables (src/lock.h, private). Recursive because raising an error re-enters the library -- FAIL needs a pool slot and a status name -- and single because two locks would mean an ordering to get wrong. Registry bodies that use the early-returning FAIL_*_RETURN macros are split into *_locked functions behind wrappers that take and release the lock on one path; consumer callbacks are never called under it. This is an ABI break, hence 2.0.0 and SOVERSION 2: - akerr_next_error() now returns a context that already holds its reference. Finding a free slot and claiming it has to be one operation, or two threads scanning at once are handed the same slot. ENSURE_ERROR_READY no longer increments. - __akerr_last_ignored is thread-local, as is the last-ditch context used to report akerr_release_error(NULL). The threading backend is chosen at configure time by AKERR_THREADS (auto, pthread, none). auto fails the configure when it cannot find POSIX threads rather than quietly building a library that reports itself thread safe and is not. generrno.sh stamps the decision into the generated header as AKERR_THREAD_SAFE, so a consumer cannot disagree with the library about it. Tests: err_threads_init, err_threads_pool and err_threads_registry assert exclusive slot ownership, exactly one winner for a contested range, and every registered name readable back under contention. AKERR_SANITIZE builds the library and the tests with any sanitizer; scripts/thread_test.sh runs the suite under ThreadSanitizer and CI runs it. Removing the pool lock makes both the sanitizer and the plain assertions fail, so the tests are not vacuous. Documented in README.md and UPGRADING.md, including what this does not cover: renaming a status while another thread looks it up, and which of two simultaneous unhandled errors sets the exit status.

/*
* Per-thread state.

* The last-ditch context is where a failure gets reported when there is no pool
* slot to report it from -- akerr_release_error(NULL). One shared copy would
* have two threads formatting a message into the same buffer, so each thread
* gets its own. Thread-local storage is zero initialized, which is why
* akerr_last_ditch_context() below sets the stack-trace cursor lazily rather
* than akerr_init() setting it for everyone: akerr_init() runs on one thread
* and cannot reach the others' copies.
*
* It is not small (an akerr_ErrorContext is tens of kilobytes), but the storage
* is allocated per thread only when that thread first touches the library's
* thread-local block, and the alternative is a shared buffer that two threads
* can be writing at once.

Enforce status-code ownership and harden the name registry Reservations were advisory bookkeeping: any component could name any status, so the registry only detected declared-range overlap between components that both opted in. Naming a status now requires a reservation. akerr_register_status_name() checks that the range belongs to the caller, and the legacy two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path, which cannot identify its caller, requires that some reservation covers the status. Every refusal is logged and names the real owner, because a name that fails to register degrades that code to "Unknown Error" in every later stack trace. Fix a reservation made before the first PREPARE_ERROR being silently discarded. akerr_init() clears the tables, so whichever component first triggered it wiped an earlier reservation and the next component to claim the same range was told it was free, producing exactly the undetected aliasing the registry exists to prevent. Every registry entry point now calls akerr_init(), which sets its guard before doing any work so those calls do not recurse. Replace the linear-scan name array with an open-addressed hash table, taking lookup from O(n) to O(1) and raising usable capacity from 512 entries (366 free to consumers after errno registration) to 3072 (~2900 free). Both table sizes are build-time overridable and applied PRIVATE: they live entirely in src/error.c, so raising them cannot desynchronize a library from its consumers the way AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE could. Exhausting either table is now logged and returned to the caller rather than silently dropping the entry. No dynamic allocation is introduced; both tables remain file-scope arrays, and the library's undefined-symbol set gains only strcmp and strlen. Register names for AKERR_EOF, AKERR_ITERATOR_BREAK and AKERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, which had none and rendered as "Unknown Error" in every stack trace carrying them. err_error_names.c now sweeps the whole AKERR_* offset span so a code added without a name fails there instead of in production traces. Add static assertions that the slot count is a power of two and that AKERR_BADEXC stays inside the library's own 0-255 band, the latter guarding against a host errno space large enough to push library codes into the range consumers are told to allocate from. Set a project version and soname (1.0.0 / libakerror.so.1) so a stale installed library can no longer be silently paired with newer headers, and so akerror.pc ships a real Version field instead of an empty one. Mutation testing surfaced an out-of-bounds probe in the new table that the suite did not catch: masking with SLOTS rather than SLOTS-1 indexes past the array, and err_maxval.c asserted only that some names registered before the table filled, which a collapsed probe sequence still satisfies. It now requires a substantial entry count and reads every entry back by its own distinct name. Tests: 28/28 pass. Coverage 99.4% line / 86.8% branch. Mutation score for src/error.c 74% -> 77.3%. Compatibility: source and ABI break. AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE and the __AKERR_ERROR_NAMES data symbol are gone, custom codes must move out of 0-255, and names must be registered against a reserved range.

Use the library's own error idioms inside the library Four things in src/error.c did by hand what the macros already do, or skipped checks the library would have caught for a consumer. akerr_copy_string() returned void and validated only its capacity, while writing through a caller-supplied pointer for a caller-supplied length. It is now __akerr_copy_string() and raises: AKERR_NULLPOINTER for a NULL destination or source, AKERR_VALUE for a capacity with no room for a terminator. Both call sites PASS it, and the owner copy in akerr_reserve_status_range() now gates the commit, so a failed copy cannot leave a range claimed under an empty owner. It is exported under the internal prefix rather than static so tests/err_copy_string.c can drive those guards; nothing else can reach them. __akerr_name_library_status() and the band reservation in akerr_init() hand-rolled the log/handler/release sequence. Both now use ATTEMPT/CATCH/PROCESS/FINISH_NORETURN. PASS does not fit: both sites are void and have no caller to propagate to, so the terminal form of the same idiom is the right one -- an unhandled failure prints its stack trace and goes to akerr_handler_unhandled_error, which terminates, exactly as before but without the bespoke plumbing. The legacy set path in akerr_name_for_status() had the same shape and now handles its refusal with HANDLE_DEFAULT, converting it to the "Unknown Error" sentinel. Every remaining `if (x) { FAIL_RETURN }` in the registry is now FAIL_ZERO_RETURN or FAIL_NONZERO_RETURN, and akerr_register_status_name() checks both owner and name before passing either down -- akerr_store_status_name() reads a NULL owner as "caller did not identify itself" for the legacy path, so a NULL arriving through the owned entry point would have skipped the ownership check entirely. New tests: err_copy_string (the guards above), err_library_status_fatal (WILL_FAIL -- proves a refused library-status registration terminates). Tests: ctest 31/31, mutation 80.7% (was 77.5%), line coverage 98.9%. Branch coverage on src/error.c drops 64.5% -> 50.4%, just over its gate: each FAIL_* site carries ~6 branch outcomes of error-construction machinery that only run when that failure fires, and each PASS around a call that cannot fail carries ~25, so added validation lowers the ratio by construction.

Enforce status-code ownership and harden the name registry Reservations were advisory bookkeeping: any component could name any status, so the registry only detected declared-range overlap between components that both opted in. Naming a status now requires a reservation. akerr_register_status_name() checks that the range belongs to the caller, and the legacy two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path, which cannot identify its caller, requires that some reservation covers the status. Every refusal is logged and names the real owner, because a name that fails to register degrades that code to "Unknown Error" in every later stack trace. Fix a reservation made before the first PREPARE_ERROR being silently discarded. akerr_init() clears the tables, so whichever component first triggered it wiped an earlier reservation and the next component to claim the same range was told it was free, producing exactly the undetected aliasing the registry exists to prevent. Every registry entry point now calls akerr_init(), which sets its guard before doing any work so those calls do not recurse. Replace the linear-scan name array with an open-addressed hash table, taking lookup from O(n) to O(1) and raising usable capacity from 512 entries (366 free to consumers after errno registration) to 3072 (~2900 free). Both table sizes are build-time overridable and applied PRIVATE: they live entirely in src/error.c, so raising them cannot desynchronize a library from its consumers the way AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE could. Exhausting either table is now logged and returned to the caller rather than silently dropping the entry. No dynamic allocation is introduced; both tables remain file-scope arrays, and the library's undefined-symbol set gains only strcmp and strlen. Register names for AKERR_EOF, AKERR_ITERATOR_BREAK and AKERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, which had none and rendered as "Unknown Error" in every stack trace carrying them. err_error_names.c now sweeps the whole AKERR_* offset span so a code added without a name fails there instead of in production traces. Add static assertions that the slot count is a power of two and that AKERR_BADEXC stays inside the library's own 0-255 band, the latter guarding against a host errno space large enough to push library codes into the range consumers are told to allocate from. Set a project version and soname (1.0.0 / libakerror.so.1) so a stale installed library can no longer be silently paired with newer headers, and so akerror.pc ships a real Version field instead of an empty one. Mutation testing surfaced an out-of-bounds probe in the new table that the suite did not catch: masking with SLOTS rather than SLOTS-1 indexes past the array, and err_maxval.c asserted only that some names registered before the table filled, which a collapsed probe sequence still satisfies. It now requires a substantial entry count and reads every entry back by its own distinct name. Tests: 28/28 pass. Coverage 99.4% line / 86.8% branch. Mutation score for src/error.c 74% -> 77.3%. Compatibility: source and ABI break. AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE and the __AKERR_ERROR_NAMES data symbol are gone, custom codes must move out of 0-255, and names must be registered against a reserved range.

/*
* Compare against each element address rather than testing the address range.
* A range test also accepts pointers into the *interior* of an element, which
* would then be treated as the head of an akerr_ErrorContext and written
* through. Keep this an element-wise scan; it is not a missed optimization.
Make the error pool and status registry thread safe Every entry point may now be called from any thread. akerr_init() runs exactly once however many threads race into it, the pool hands each slot to exactly one thread, and reservations, registrations and lookups are serialized against each other. One recursive lock covers both tables (src/lock.h, private). Recursive because raising an error re-enters the library -- FAIL needs a pool slot and a status name -- and single because two locks would mean an ordering to get wrong. Registry bodies that use the early-returning FAIL_*_RETURN macros are split into *_locked functions behind wrappers that take and release the lock on one path; consumer callbacks are never called under it. This is an ABI break, hence 2.0.0 and SOVERSION 2: - akerr_next_error() now returns a context that already holds its reference. Finding a free slot and claiming it has to be one operation, or two threads scanning at once are handed the same slot. ENSURE_ERROR_READY no longer increments. - __akerr_last_ignored is thread-local, as is the last-ditch context used to report akerr_release_error(NULL). The threading backend is chosen at configure time by AKERR_THREADS (auto, pthread, none). auto fails the configure when it cannot find POSIX threads rather than quietly building a library that reports itself thread safe and is not. generrno.sh stamps the decision into the generated header as AKERR_THREAD_SAFE, so a consumer cannot disagree with the library about it. Tests: err_threads_init, err_threads_pool and err_threads_registry assert exclusive slot ownership, exactly one winner for a contested range, and every registered name readable back under contention. AKERR_SANITIZE builds the library and the tests with any sanitizer; scripts/thread_test.sh runs the suite under ThreadSanitizer and CI runs it. Removing the pool lock makes both the sanitizer and the plain assertions fail, so the tests are not vacuous. Documented in README.md and UPGRADING.md, including what this does not cover: renaming a status while another thread looks it up, and which of two simultaneous unhandled errors sets the exit status.

The two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path is the exception: it returns a name and cannot raise, so it logs and releases. akerr_init() likewise has no caller to raise into, so failing to reserve its own band or name its own codes is logged and fatal -- that can only happen on a misconfigured build, and continuing would degrade every later stack trace to "Unknown Error". Move the 1.0.0 upgrade notice out of README.md into UPGRADING.md and rewrite its return-code tables in terms of the statuses now raised. Tests: ctest 29/29, coverage 97.5% line / 64.5% branch, mutation 77.5% (was 77.6%; the new survivors are the fatal init path, which needs a library built with an undersized name table -- TODO item 7).

Enforce status-code ownership and harden the name registry Reservations were advisory bookkeeping: any component could name any status, so the registry only detected declared-range overlap between components that both opted in. Naming a status now requires a reservation. akerr_register_status_name() checks that the range belongs to the caller, and the legacy two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path, which cannot identify its caller, requires that some reservation covers the status. Every refusal is logged and names the real owner, because a name that fails to register degrades that code to "Unknown Error" in every later stack trace. Fix a reservation made before the first PREPARE_ERROR being silently discarded. akerr_init() clears the tables, so whichever component first triggered it wiped an earlier reservation and the next component to claim the same range was told it was free, producing exactly the undetected aliasing the registry exists to prevent. Every registry entry point now calls akerr_init(), which sets its guard before doing any work so those calls do not recurse. Replace the linear-scan name array with an open-addressed hash table, taking lookup from O(n) to O(1) and raising usable capacity from 512 entries (366 free to consumers after errno registration) to 3072 (~2900 free). Both table sizes are build-time overridable and applied PRIVATE: they live entirely in src/error.c, so raising them cannot desynchronize a library from its consumers the way AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE could. Exhausting either table is now logged and returned to the caller rather than silently dropping the entry. No dynamic allocation is introduced; both tables remain file-scope arrays, and the library's undefined-symbol set gains only strcmp and strlen. Register names for AKERR_EOF, AKERR_ITERATOR_BREAK and AKERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, which had none and rendered as "Unknown Error" in every stack trace carrying them. err_error_names.c now sweeps the whole AKERR_* offset span so a code added without a name fails there instead of in production traces. Add static assertions that the slot count is a power of two and that AKERR_BADEXC stays inside the library's own 0-255 band, the latter guarding against a host errno space large enough to push library codes into the range consumers are told to allocate from. Set a project version and soname (1.0.0 / libakerror.so.1) so a stale installed library can no longer be silently paired with newer headers, and so akerror.pc ships a real Version field instead of an empty one. Mutation testing surfaced an out-of-bounds probe in the new table that the suite did not catch: masking with SLOTS rather than SLOTS-1 indexes past the array, and err_maxval.c asserted only that some names registered before the table filled, which a collapsed probe sequence still satisfies. It now requires a substantial entry count and reads every entry back by its own distinct name. Tests: 28/28 pass. Coverage 99.4% line / 86.8% branch. Mutation score for src/error.c 74% -> 77.3%. Compatibility: source and ABI break. AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE and the __AKERR_ERROR_NAMES data symbol are gone, custom codes must move out of 0-255, and names must be registered against a reserved range.

Enforce status-code ownership and harden the name registry Reservations were advisory bookkeeping: any component could name any status, so the registry only detected declared-range overlap between components that both opted in. Naming a status now requires a reservation. akerr_register_status_name() checks that the range belongs to the caller, and the legacy two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path, which cannot identify its caller, requires that some reservation covers the status. Every refusal is logged and names the real owner, because a name that fails to register degrades that code to "Unknown Error" in every later stack trace. Fix a reservation made before the first PREPARE_ERROR being silently discarded. akerr_init() clears the tables, so whichever component first triggered it wiped an earlier reservation and the next component to claim the same range was told it was free, producing exactly the undetected aliasing the registry exists to prevent. Every registry entry point now calls akerr_init(), which sets its guard before doing any work so those calls do not recurse. Replace the linear-scan name array with an open-addressed hash table, taking lookup from O(n) to O(1) and raising usable capacity from 512 entries (366 free to consumers after errno registration) to 3072 (~2900 free). Both table sizes are build-time overridable and applied PRIVATE: they live entirely in src/error.c, so raising them cannot desynchronize a library from its consumers the way AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE could. Exhausting either table is now logged and returned to the caller rather than silently dropping the entry. No dynamic allocation is introduced; both tables remain file-scope arrays, and the library's undefined-symbol set gains only strcmp and strlen. Register names for AKERR_EOF, AKERR_ITERATOR_BREAK and AKERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, which had none and rendered as "Unknown Error" in every stack trace carrying them. err_error_names.c now sweeps the whole AKERR_* offset span so a code added without a name fails there instead of in production traces. Add static assertions that the slot count is a power of two and that AKERR_BADEXC stays inside the library's own 0-255 band, the latter guarding against a host errno space large enough to push library codes into the range consumers are told to allocate from. Set a project version and soname (1.0.0 / libakerror.so.1) so a stale installed library can no longer be silently paired with newer headers, and so akerror.pc ships a real Version field instead of an empty one. Mutation testing surfaced an out-of-bounds probe in the new table that the suite did not catch: masking with SLOTS rather than SLOTS-1 indexes past the array, and err_maxval.c asserted only that some names registered before the table filled, which a collapsed probe sequence still satisfies. It now requires a substantial entry count and reads every entry back by its own distinct name. Tests: 28/28 pass. Coverage 99.4% line / 86.8% branch. Mutation score for src/error.c 74% -> 77.3%.

Make the error pool and status registry thread safe Every entry point may now be called from any thread. akerr_init() runs exactly once however many threads race into it, the pool hands each slot to exactly one thread, and reservations, registrations and lookups are serialized against each other. One recursive lock covers both tables (src/lock.h, private). Recursive because raising an error re-enters the library -- FAIL needs a pool slot and a status name -- and single because two locks would mean an ordering to get wrong. Registry bodies that use the early-returning FAIL_*_RETURN macros are split into *_locked functions behind wrappers that take and release the lock on one path; consumer callbacks are never called under it. This is an ABI break, hence 2.0.0 and SOVERSION 2: - akerr_next_error() now returns a context that already holds its reference. Finding a free slot and claiming it has to be one operation, or two threads scanning at once are handed the same slot. ENSURE_ERROR_READY no longer increments. - __akerr_last_ignored is thread-local, as is the last-ditch context used to report akerr_release_error(NULL). The threading backend is chosen at configure time by AKERR_THREADS (auto, pthread, none). auto fails the configure when it cannot find POSIX threads rather than quietly building a library that reports itself thread safe and is not. generrno.sh stamps the decision into the generated header as AKERR_THREAD_SAFE, so a consumer cannot disagree with the library about it. Tests: err_threads_init, err_threads_pool and err_threads_registry assert exclusive slot ownership, exactly one winner for a contested range, and every registered name readable back under contention. AKERR_SANITIZE builds the library and the tests with any sanitizer; scripts/thread_test.sh runs the suite under ThreadSanitizer and CI runs it. Removing the pool lock makes both the sanitizer and the plain assertions fail, so the tests are not vacuous. Documented in README.md and UPGRADING.md, including what this does not cover: renaming a status while another thread looks it up, and which of two simultaneous unhandled errors sets the exit status.

/*
* Shared body of both registration entry points. A NULL owner means the caller
* did not identify itself (the legacy two-argument akerr_name_for_status path):
* the status must still lie inside *some* reservation, but we cannot check that
Raise errors from the status registry instead of returning codes akerr_reserve_status_range() and akerr_register_status_name() returned private int enumerations, which was the one place in the library where a failure was not an akerr_ErrorContext *. They now return one like everything else: NULL on success, and on refusal an error whose status is a real code in the library's reserved band, so it can be CATCH-ed, HANDLE-d, PASS-ed, or left to propagate into a stack trace. Both are marked AKERR_NOIGNORE, so discarding the result warns at compile time. AKERR_STATUS_RANGE_OK and AKERR_STATUS_NAME_OK are gone; the remaining seven codes move into the AKERR_* offset span and get registered names. AKERR_LAST_LIBRARY_STATUS replaces AKERR_BADEXC as the top of that span in the reserved-band static assert and the exhaustiveness sweep. The refusal detail that used to go straight to akerr_log_method now travels in the error message, so a caller that handles the error decides whether it is reported. The two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path is the exception: it returns a name and cannot raise, so it logs and releases. akerr_init() likewise has no caller to raise into, so failing to reserve its own band or name its own codes is logged and fatal -- that can only happen on a misconfigured build, and continuing would degrade every later stack trace to "Unknown Error". Move the 1.0.0 upgrade notice out of README.md into UPGRADING.md and rewrite its return-code tables in terms of the statuses now raised. Tests: ctest 29/29, coverage 97.5% line / 64.5% branch, mutation 77.5% (was 77.6%; the new survivors are the fatal init path, which needs a library built with an undersized name table -- TODO item 7).

Make the error pool and status registry thread safe Every entry point may now be called from any thread. akerr_init() runs exactly once however many threads race into it, the pool hands each slot to exactly one thread, and reservations, registrations and lookups are serialized against each other. One recursive lock covers both tables (src/lock.h, private). Recursive because raising an error re-enters the library -- FAIL needs a pool slot and a status name -- and single because two locks would mean an ordering to get wrong. Registry bodies that use the early-returning FAIL_*_RETURN macros are split into *_locked functions behind wrappers that take and release the lock on one path; consumer callbacks are never called under it. This is an ABI break, hence 2.0.0 and SOVERSION 2: - akerr_next_error() now returns a context that already holds its reference. Finding a free slot and claiming it has to be one operation, or two threads scanning at once are handed the same slot. ENSURE_ERROR_READY no longer increments. - __akerr_last_ignored is thread-local, as is the last-ditch context used to report akerr_release_error(NULL). The threading backend is chosen at configure time by AKERR_THREADS (auto, pthread, none). auto fails the configure when it cannot find POSIX threads rather than quietly building a library that reports itself thread safe and is not. generrno.sh stamps the decision into the generated header as AKERR_THREAD_SAFE, so a consumer cannot disagree with the library about it. Tests: err_threads_init, err_threads_pool and err_threads_registry assert exclusive slot ownership, exactly one winner for a contested range, and every registered name readable back under contention. AKERR_SANITIZE builds the library and the tests with any sanitizer; scripts/thread_test.sh runs the suite under ThreadSanitizer and CI runs it. Removing the pool lock makes both the sanitizer and the plain assertions fail, so the tests are not vacuous. Documented in README.md and UPGRADING.md, including what this does not cover: renaming a status while another thread looks it up, and which of two simultaneous unhandled errors sets the exit status.

Use the library's own error idioms inside the library Four things in src/error.c did by hand what the macros already do, or skipped checks the library would have caught for a consumer. akerr_copy_string() returned void and validated only its capacity, while writing through a caller-supplied pointer for a caller-supplied length. It is now __akerr_copy_string() and raises: AKERR_NULLPOINTER for a NULL destination or source, AKERR_VALUE for a capacity with no room for a terminator. Both call sites PASS it, and the owner copy in akerr_reserve_status_range() now gates the commit, so a failed copy cannot leave a range claimed under an empty owner. It is exported under the internal prefix rather than static so tests/err_copy_string.c can drive those guards; nothing else can reach them. __akerr_name_library_status() and the band reservation in akerr_init() hand-rolled the log/handler/release sequence. Both now use ATTEMPT/CATCH/PROCESS/FINISH_NORETURN. PASS does not fit: both sites are void and have no caller to propagate to, so the terminal form of the same idiom is the right one -- an unhandled failure prints its stack trace and goes to akerr_handler_unhandled_error, which terminates, exactly as before but without the bespoke plumbing. The legacy set path in akerr_name_for_status() had the same shape and now handles its refusal with HANDLE_DEFAULT, converting it to the "Unknown Error" sentinel. Every remaining `if (x) { FAIL_RETURN }` in the registry is now FAIL_ZERO_RETURN or FAIL_NONZERO_RETURN, and akerr_register_status_name() checks both owner and name before passing either down -- akerr_store_status_name() reads a NULL owner as "caller did not identify itself" for the legacy path, so a NULL arriving through the owned entry point would have skipped the ownership check entirely. New tests: err_copy_string (the guards above), err_library_status_fatal (WILL_FAIL -- proves a refused library-status registration terminates). Tests: ctest 31/31, mutation 80.7% (was 77.5%), line coverage 98.9%.

Fix a reservation made before the first PREPARE_ERROR being silently discarded. akerr_init() clears the tables, so whichever component first triggered it wiped an earlier reservation and the next component to claim the same range was told it was free, producing exactly the undetected aliasing the registry exists to prevent. Every registry entry point now calls akerr_init(), which sets its guard before doing any work so those calls do not recurse. Replace the linear-scan name array with an open-addressed hash table, taking lookup from O(n) to O(1) and raising usable capacity from 512 entries (366 free to consumers after errno registration) to 3072 (~2900 free). Both table sizes are build-time overridable and applied PRIVATE: they live entirely in src/error.c, so raising them cannot desynchronize a library from its consumers the way AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE could. Exhausting either table is now logged and returned to the caller rather than silently dropping the entry. No dynamic allocation is introduced; both tables remain file-scope arrays, and the library's undefined-symbol set gains only strcmp and strlen. Register names for AKERR_EOF, AKERR_ITERATOR_BREAK and AKERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, which had none and rendered as "Unknown Error" in every stack trace carrying them. err_error_names.c now sweeps the whole AKERR_* offset span so a code added without a name fails there instead of in production traces. Add static assertions that the slot count is a power of two and that AKERR_BADEXC stays inside the library's own 0-255 band, the latter guarding against a host errno space large enough to push library codes into the range consumers are told to allocate from. Set a project version and soname (1.0.0 / libakerror.so.1) so a stale installed library can no longer be silently paired with newer headers, and so akerror.pc ships a real Version field instead of an empty one. Mutation testing surfaced an out-of-bounds probe in the new table that the suite did not catch: masking with SLOTS rather than SLOTS-1 indexes past the array, and err_maxval.c asserted only that some names registered before the table filled, which a collapsed probe sequence still satisfies. It now requires a substantial entry count and reads every entry back by its own distinct name. Tests: 28/28 pass. Coverage 99.4% line / 86.8% branch. Mutation score for src/error.c 74% -> 77.3%.

The legacy set path in akerr_name_for_status() had the same shape and now handles its refusal with HANDLE_DEFAULT, converting it to the "Unknown Error" sentinel. Every remaining `if (x) { FAIL_RETURN }` in the registry is now FAIL_ZERO_RETURN or FAIL_NONZERO_RETURN, and akerr_register_status_name() checks both owner and name before passing either down -- akerr_store_status_name() reads a NULL owner as "caller did not identify itself" for the legacy path, so a NULL arriving through the owned entry point would have skipped the ownership check entirely.

Raise errors from the status registry instead of returning codes akerr_reserve_status_range() and akerr_register_status_name() returned private int enumerations, which was the one place in the library where a failure was not an akerr_ErrorContext *. They now return one like everything else: NULL on success, and on refusal an error whose status is a real code in the library's reserved band, so it can be CATCH-ed, HANDLE-d, PASS-ed, or left to propagate into a stack trace. Both are marked AKERR_NOIGNORE, so discarding the result warns at compile time. AKERR_STATUS_RANGE_OK and AKERR_STATUS_NAME_OK are gone; the remaining seven codes move into the AKERR_* offset span and get registered names. AKERR_LAST_LIBRARY_STATUS replaces AKERR_BADEXC as the top of that span in the reserved-band static assert and the exhaustiveness sweep. The refusal detail that used to go straight to akerr_log_method now travels in the error message, so a caller that handles the error decides whether it is reported. The two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path is the exception: it returns a name and cannot raise, so it logs and releases. akerr_init() likewise has no caller to raise into, so failing to reserve its own band or name its own codes is logged and fatal -- that can only happen on a misconfigured build, and continuing would degrade every later stack trace to "Unknown Error". Move the 1.0.0 upgrade notice out of README.md into UPGRADING.md and rewrite its return-code tables in terms of the statuses now raised. Tests: ctest 29/29, coverage 97.5% line / 64.5% branch, mutation 77.5% (was 77.6%; the new survivors are the fatal init path, which needs a library built with an undersized name table -- TODO item 7).

Raise errors from the status registry instead of returning codes akerr_reserve_status_range() and akerr_register_status_name() returned private int enumerations, which was the one place in the library where a failure was not an akerr_ErrorContext *. They now return one like everything else: NULL on success, and on refusal an error whose status is a real code in the library's reserved band, so it can be CATCH-ed, HANDLE-d, PASS-ed, or left to propagate into a stack trace. Both are marked AKERR_NOIGNORE, so discarding the result warns at compile time. AKERR_STATUS_RANGE_OK and AKERR_STATUS_NAME_OK are gone; the remaining seven codes move into the AKERR_* offset span and get registered names. AKERR_LAST_LIBRARY_STATUS replaces AKERR_BADEXC as the top of that span in the reserved-band static assert and the exhaustiveness sweep. The refusal detail that used to go straight to akerr_log_method now travels in the error message, so a caller that handles the error decides whether it is reported. The two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path is the exception: it returns a name and cannot raise, so it logs and releases. akerr_init() likewise has no caller to raise into, so failing to reserve its own band or name its own codes is logged and fatal -- that can only happen on a misconfigured build, and continuing would degrade every later stack trace to "Unknown Error". Move the 1.0.0 upgrade notice out of README.md into UPGRADING.md and rewrite its return-code tables in terms of the statuses now raised. Tests: ctest 29/29, coverage 97.5% line / 64.5% branch, mutation 77.5% (was 77.6%; the new survivors are the fatal init path, which needs a library built with an undersized name table -- TODO item 7).

SUCCEED_RETURN(errctx);
Enforce status-code ownership and harden the name registry Reservations were advisory bookkeeping: any component could name any status, so the registry only detected declared-range overlap between components that both opted in. Naming a status now requires a reservation. akerr_register_status_name() checks that the range belongs to the caller, and the legacy two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path, which cannot identify its caller, requires that some reservation covers the status. Every refusal is logged and names the real owner, because a name that fails to register degrades that code to "Unknown Error" in every later stack trace. Fix a reservation made before the first PREPARE_ERROR being silently discarded. akerr_init() clears the tables, so whichever component first triggered it wiped an earlier reservation and the next component to claim the same range was told it was free, producing exactly the undetected aliasing the registry exists to prevent. Every registry entry point now calls akerr_init(), which sets its guard before doing any work so those calls do not recurse. Replace the linear-scan name array with an open-addressed hash table, taking lookup from O(n) to O(1) and raising usable capacity from 512 entries (366 free to consumers after errno registration) to 3072 (~2900 free). Both table sizes are build-time overridable and applied PRIVATE: they live entirely in src/error.c, so raising them cannot desynchronize a library from its consumers the way AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE could. Exhausting either table is now logged and returned to the caller rather than silently dropping the entry. No dynamic allocation is introduced; both tables remain file-scope arrays, and the library's undefined-symbol set gains only strcmp and strlen. Register names for AKERR_EOF, AKERR_ITERATOR_BREAK and AKERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, which had none and rendered as "Unknown Error" in every stack trace carrying them. err_error_names.c now sweeps the whole AKERR_* offset span so a code added without a name fails there instead of in production traces. Add static assertions that the slot count is a power of two and that AKERR_BADEXC stays inside the library's own 0-255 band, the latter guarding against a host errno space large enough to push library codes into the range consumers are told to allocate from. Set a project version and soname (1.0.0 / libakerror.so.1) so a stale installed library can no longer be silently paired with newer headers, and so akerror.pc ships a real Version field instead of an empty one. Mutation testing surfaced an out-of-bounds probe in the new table that the suite did not catch: masking with SLOTS rather than SLOTS-1 indexes past the array, and err_maxval.c asserted only that some names registered before the table filled, which a collapsed probe sequence still satisfies. It now requires a substantial entry count and reads every entry back by its own distinct name. Tests: 28/28 pass. Coverage 99.4% line / 86.8% branch. Mutation score for src/error.c 74% -> 77.3%. Compatibility: source and ABI break. AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE and the __AKERR_ERROR_NAMES data symbol are gone, custom codes must move out of 0-255, and names must be registered against a reserved range.

Make the error pool and status registry thread safe Every entry point may now be called from any thread. akerr_init() runs exactly once however many threads race into it, the pool hands each slot to exactly one thread, and reservations, registrations and lookups are serialized against each other. One recursive lock covers both tables (src/lock.h, private). Recursive because raising an error re-enters the library -- FAIL needs a pool slot and a status name -- and single because two locks would mean an ordering to get wrong. Registry bodies that use the early-returning FAIL_*_RETURN macros are split into *_locked functions behind wrappers that take and release the lock on one path; consumer callbacks are never called under it. This is an ABI break, hence 2.0.0 and SOVERSION 2: - akerr_next_error() now returns a context that already holds its reference. Finding a free slot and claiming it has to be one operation, or two threads scanning at once are handed the same slot. ENSURE_ERROR_READY no longer increments. - __akerr_last_ignored is thread-local, as is the last-ditch context used to report akerr_release_error(NULL). The threading backend is chosen at configure time by AKERR_THREADS (auto, pthread, none). auto fails the configure when it cannot find POSIX threads rather than quietly building a library that reports itself thread safe and is not. generrno.sh stamps the decision into the generated header as AKERR_THREAD_SAFE, so a consumer cannot disagree with the library about it. Tests: err_threads_init, err_threads_pool and err_threads_registry assert exclusive slot ownership, exactly one winner for a contested range, and every registered name readable back under contention. AKERR_SANITIZE builds the library and the tests with any sanitizer; scripts/thread_test.sh runs the suite under ThreadSanitizer and CI runs it. Removing the pool lock makes both the sanitizer and the plain assertions fail, so the tests are not vacuous. Documented in README.md and UPGRADING.md, including what this does not cover: renaming a status while another thread looks it up, and which of two simultaneous unhandled errors sets the exit status.

Use the library's own error idioms inside the library Four things in src/error.c did by hand what the macros already do, or skipped checks the library would have caught for a consumer. akerr_copy_string() returned void and validated only its capacity, while writing through a caller-supplied pointer for a caller-supplied length. It is now __akerr_copy_string() and raises: AKERR_NULLPOINTER for a NULL destination or source, AKERR_VALUE for a capacity with no room for a terminator. Both call sites PASS it, and the owner copy in akerr_reserve_status_range() now gates the commit, so a failed copy cannot leave a range claimed under an empty owner. It is exported under the internal prefix rather than static so tests/err_copy_string.c can drive those guards; nothing else can reach them. __akerr_name_library_status() and the band reservation in akerr_init() hand-rolled the log/handler/release sequence. Both now use ATTEMPT/CATCH/PROCESS/FINISH_NORETURN. PASS does not fit: both sites are void and have no caller to propagate to, so the terminal form of the same idiom is the right one -- an unhandled failure prints its stack trace and goes to akerr_handler_unhandled_error, which terminates, exactly as before but without the bespoke plumbing. The legacy set path in akerr_name_for_status() had the same shape and now handles its refusal with HANDLE_DEFAULT, converting it to the "Unknown Error" sentinel. Every remaining `if (x) { FAIL_RETURN }` in the registry is now FAIL_ZERO_RETURN or FAIL_NONZERO_RETURN, and akerr_register_status_name() checks both owner and name before passing either down -- akerr_store_status_name() reads a NULL owner as "caller did not identify itself" for the legacy path, so a NULL arriving through the owned entry point would have skipped the ownership check entirely. New tests: err_copy_string (the guards above), err_library_status_fatal (WILL_FAIL -- proves a refused library-status registration terminates). Tests: ctest 31/31, mutation 80.7% (was 77.5%), line coverage 98.9%. Branch coverage on src/error.c drops 64.5% -> 50.4%, just over its gate: each FAIL_* site carries ~6 branch outcomes of error-construction machinery that only run when that failure fires, and each PASS around a call that cannot fail carries ~25, so added validation lowers the ratio by construction.

Register names for AKERR_EOF, AKERR_ITERATOR_BREAK and AKERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, which had none and rendered as "Unknown Error" in every stack trace carrying them. err_error_names.c now sweeps the whole AKERR_* offset span so a code added without a name fails there instead of in production traces. Add static assertions that the slot count is a power of two and that AKERR_BADEXC stays inside the library's own 0-255 band, the latter guarding against a host errno space large enough to push library codes into the range consumers are told to allocate from. Set a project version and soname (1.0.0 / libakerror.so.1) so a stale installed library can no longer be silently paired with newer headers, and so akerror.pc ships a real Version field instead of an empty one. Mutation testing surfaced an out-of-bounds probe in the new table that the suite did not catch: masking with SLOTS rather than SLOTS-1 indexes past the array, and err_maxval.c asserted only that some names registered before the table filled, which a collapsed probe sequence still satisfies. It now requires a substantial entry count and reads every entry back by its own distinct name. Tests: 28/28 pass. Coverage 99.4% line / 86.8% branch. Mutation score for src/error.c 74% -> 77.3%. Compatibility: source and ABI break. AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE and the __AKERR_ERROR_NAMES data symbol are gone, custom codes must move out of 0-255, and names must be registered against a reserved range.

akerr_init();
Raise errors from the status registry instead of returning codes akerr_reserve_status_range() and akerr_register_status_name() returned private int enumerations, which was the one place in the library where a failure was not an akerr_ErrorContext *. They now return one like everything else: NULL on success, and on refusal an error whose status is a real code in the library's reserved band, so it can be CATCH-ed, HANDLE-d, PASS-ed, or left to propagate into a stack trace. Both are marked AKERR_NOIGNORE, so discarding the result warns at compile time. AKERR_STATUS_RANGE_OK and AKERR_STATUS_NAME_OK are gone; the remaining seven codes move into the AKERR_* offset span and get registered names. AKERR_LAST_LIBRARY_STATUS replaces AKERR_BADEXC as the top of that span in the reserved-band static assert and the exhaustiveness sweep. The refusal detail that used to go straight to akerr_log_method now travels in the error message, so a caller that handles the error decides whether it is reported. The two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path is the exception: it returns a name and cannot raise, so it logs and releases. akerr_init() likewise has no caller to raise into, so failing to reserve its own band or name its own codes is logged and fatal -- that can only happen on a misconfigured build, and continuing would degrade every later stack trace to "Unknown Error". Move the 1.0.0 upgrade notice out of README.md into UPGRADING.md and rewrite its return-code tables in terms of the statuses now raised. Tests: ctest 29/29, coverage 97.5% line / 64.5% branch, mutation 77.5% (was 77.6%; the new survivors are the fatal init path, which needs a library built with an undersized name table -- TODO item 7).

Use the library's own error idioms inside the library Four things in src/error.c did by hand what the macros already do, or skipped checks the library would have caught for a consumer. akerr_copy_string() returned void and validated only its capacity, while writing through a caller-supplied pointer for a caller-supplied length. It is now __akerr_copy_string() and raises: AKERR_NULLPOINTER for a NULL destination or source, AKERR_VALUE for a capacity with no room for a terminator. Both call sites PASS it, and the owner copy in akerr_reserve_status_range() now gates the commit, so a failed copy cannot leave a range claimed under an empty owner. It is exported under the internal prefix rather than static so tests/err_copy_string.c can drive those guards; nothing else can reach them. __akerr_name_library_status() and the band reservation in akerr_init() hand-rolled the log/handler/release sequence. Both now use ATTEMPT/CATCH/PROCESS/FINISH_NORETURN. PASS does not fit: both sites are void and have no caller to propagate to, so the terminal form of the same idiom is the right one -- an unhandled failure prints its stack trace and goes to akerr_handler_unhandled_error, which terminates, exactly as before but without the bespoke plumbing. The legacy set path in akerr_name_for_status() had the same shape and now handles its refusal with HANDLE_DEFAULT, converting it to the "Unknown Error" sentinel. Every remaining `if (x) { FAIL_RETURN }` in the registry is now FAIL_ZERO_RETURN or FAIL_NONZERO_RETURN, and akerr_register_status_name() checks both owner and name before passing either down -- akerr_store_status_name() reads a NULL owner as "caller did not identify itself" for the legacy path, so a NULL arriving through the owned entry point would have skipped the ownership check entirely. New tests: err_copy_string (the guards above), err_library_status_fatal (WILL_FAIL -- proves a refused library-status registration terminates). Tests: ctest 31/31, mutation 80.7% (was 77.5%), line coverage 98.9%. Branch coverage on src/error.c drops 64.5% -> 50.4%, just over its gate: each FAIL_* site carries ~6 branch outcomes of error-construction machinery that only run when that failure fires, and each PASS around a call that cannot fail carries ~25, so added validation lowers the ratio by construction.

Make the error pool and status registry thread safe Every entry point may now be called from any thread. akerr_init() runs exactly once however many threads race into it, the pool hands each slot to exactly one thread, and reservations, registrations and lookups are serialized against each other. One recursive lock covers both tables (src/lock.h, private). Recursive because raising an error re-enters the library -- FAIL needs a pool slot and a status name -- and single because two locks would mean an ordering to get wrong. Registry bodies that use the early-returning FAIL_*_RETURN macros are split into *_locked functions behind wrappers that take and release the lock on one path; consumer callbacks are never called under it. This is an ABI break, hence 2.0.0 and SOVERSION 2: - akerr_next_error() now returns a context that already holds its reference. Finding a free slot and claiming it has to be one operation, or two threads scanning at once are handed the same slot. ENSURE_ERROR_READY no longer increments. - __akerr_last_ignored is thread-local, as is the last-ditch context used to report akerr_release_error(NULL). The threading backend is chosen at configure time by AKERR_THREADS (auto, pthread, none). auto fails the configure when it cannot find POSIX threads rather than quietly building a library that reports itself thread safe and is not. generrno.sh stamps the decision into the generated header as AKERR_THREAD_SAFE, so a consumer cannot disagree with the library about it. Tests: err_threads_init, err_threads_pool and err_threads_registry assert exclusive slot ownership, exactly one winner for a contested range, and every registered name readable back under contention. AKERR_SANITIZE builds the library and the tests with any sanitizer; scripts/thread_test.sh runs the suite under ThreadSanitizer and CI runs it. Removing the pool lock makes both the sanitizer and the plain assertions fail, so the tests are not vacuous. Documented in README.md and UPGRADING.md, including what this does not cover: renaming a status while another thread looks it up, and which of two simultaneous unhandled errors sets the exit status.

It now requires a substantial entry count and reads every entry back by its own distinct name. Tests: 28/28 pass. Coverage 99.4% line / 86.8% branch. Mutation score for src/error.c 74% -> 77.3%. Compatibility: source and ABI break. AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE and the __AKERR_ERROR_NAMES data symbol are gone, custom codes must move out of 0-255, and names must be registered against a reserved range. README.md carries the migration steps. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Make the error pool and status registry thread safe Every entry point may now be called from any thread. akerr_init() runs exactly once however many threads race into it, the pool hands each slot to exactly one thread, and reservations, registrations and lookups are serialized against each other. One recursive lock covers both tables (src/lock.h, private). Recursive because raising an error re-enters the library -- FAIL needs a pool slot and a status name -- and single because two locks would mean an ordering to get wrong. Registry bodies that use the early-returning FAIL_*_RETURN macros are split into *_locked functions behind wrappers that take and release the lock on one path; consumer callbacks are never called under it. This is an ABI break, hence 2.0.0 and SOVERSION 2: - akerr_next_error() now returns a context that already holds its reference. Finding a free slot and claiming it has to be one operation, or two threads scanning at once are handed the same slot. ENSURE_ERROR_READY no longer increments. - __akerr_last_ignored is thread-local, as is the last-ditch context used to report akerr_release_error(NULL). The threading backend is chosen at configure time by AKERR_THREADS (auto, pthread, none). auto fails the configure when it cannot find POSIX threads rather than quietly building a library that reports itself thread safe and is not. generrno.sh stamps the decision into the generated header as AKERR_THREAD_SAFE, so a consumer cannot disagree with the library about it. Tests: err_threads_init, err_threads_pool and err_threads_registry assert exclusive slot ownership, exactly one winner for a contested range, and every registered name readable back under contention. AKERR_SANITIZE builds the library and the tests with any sanitizer; scripts/thread_test.sh runs the suite under ThreadSanitizer and CI runs it. Removing the pool lock makes both the sanitizer and the plain assertions fail, so the tests are not vacuous. Documented in README.md and UPGRADING.md, including what this does not cover: renaming a status while another thread looks it up, and which of two simultaneous unhandled errors sets the exit status.

Use the library's own error idioms inside the library Four things in src/error.c did by hand what the macros already do, or skipped checks the library would have caught for a consumer. akerr_copy_string() returned void and validated only its capacity, while writing through a caller-supplied pointer for a caller-supplied length. It is now __akerr_copy_string() and raises: AKERR_NULLPOINTER for a NULL destination or source, AKERR_VALUE for a capacity with no room for a terminator. Both call sites PASS it, and the owner copy in akerr_reserve_status_range() now gates the commit, so a failed copy cannot leave a range claimed under an empty owner. It is exported under the internal prefix rather than static so tests/err_copy_string.c can drive those guards; nothing else can reach them. __akerr_name_library_status() and the band reservation in akerr_init() hand-rolled the log/handler/release sequence. Both now use ATTEMPT/CATCH/PROCESS/FINISH_NORETURN. PASS does not fit: both sites are void and have no caller to propagate to, so the terminal form of the same idiom is the right one -- an unhandled failure prints its stack trace and goes to akerr_handler_unhandled_error, which terminates, exactly as before but without the bespoke plumbing. The legacy set path in akerr_name_for_status() had the same shape and now handles its refusal with HANDLE_DEFAULT, converting it to the "Unknown Error" sentinel. Every remaining `if (x) { FAIL_RETURN }` in the registry is now FAIL_ZERO_RETURN or FAIL_NONZERO_RETURN, and akerr_register_status_name() checks both owner and name before passing either down -- akerr_store_status_name() reads a NULL owner as "caller did not identify itself" for the legacy path, so a NULL arriving through the owned entry point would have skipped the ownership check entirely. New tests: err_copy_string (the guards above), err_library_status_fatal (WILL_FAIL -- proves a refused library-status registration terminates). Tests: ctest 31/31, mutation 80.7% (was 77.5%), line coverage 98.9%. Branch coverage on src/error.c drops 64.5% -> 50.4%, just over its gate: each FAIL_* site carries ~6 branch outcomes of error-construction machinery that only run when that failure fires, and each PASS around a call that cannot fail carries ~25, so added validation lowers the ratio by construction.
